Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the DMCA Masters website at dmcamasters.com and the anti-piracy enforcement services provided by DMCA Masters ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access our website or use our services. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

DMCA Masters provides anti-piracy enforcement services including, but not limited to: DMCA takedown notice filing across search engines, hosting providers, and social media platforms; piracy monitoring and detection; search engine delisting requests; payment gateway reporting; impersonator identification and removal; and counter-notice defense support.

Our services are designed to protect digital content creators — including course creators, online educators, and premium content creators — from unauthorized distribution of their copyrighted works.

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to use our services. By engaging our services, you represent and warrant that you are the rightful copyright owner or an authorized representative of the copyright owner for all content you submit for protection.

You agree that you will not use our services to file fraudulent, misleading, or bad-faith takedown notices. Filing false DMCA notices is a violation of federal law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) and may subject you to liability for damages.

As a client, you agree to: provide accurate, truthful, and complete information about yourself and the content you wish to protect; confirm that you are the copyright owner or authorized agent for all works submitted; respond promptly to our requests for information or verification needed to carry out enforcement actions; and notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that the content you submit for protection is original work to which you hold valid copyright. We rely on your representations of ownership when filing takedown notices on your behalf.

While we make every reasonable effort to enforce your copyrights, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes. The success of takedown requests depends on factors outside our control, including the responsiveness of third-party platforms, hosting providers, and search engines.

We do not guarantee that all pirated content will be removed, that removed content will not reappear, or that specific timelines will be met in every case. Platform response times and policies vary, and some jurisdictions may not recognize or enforce DMCA takedown requests.

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Service fees are as described on our website or as agreed upon in a separate service agreement. All fees are quoted in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

Payment is due according to the terms of your selected service plan. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate services for accounts with overdue payments. Fees for services already rendered are non-refundable except as described in our Refund Policy.

We use third-party payment processors to handle transactions. By providing payment information, you agree to the terms and conditions of the applicable payment processor.

All content on the DMCA Masters website — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, and software — is the property of DMCA Masters or its content suppliers and is protected by international copyright laws.

Our service name, logo, and branding are trademarks of DMCA Masters. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written consent.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you. Your use of our website and services does not grant you any ownership interest in our content or technology.

We treat all client information, case details, and enforcement data as confidential. We will not disclose your information to third parties except as necessary to perform our services (e.g., filing takedown notices), as required by law, or as described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree not to disclose any proprietary information about our enforcement methods, internal processes, or technology that may be shared with you during the course of our engagement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DMCA Masters and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or in connection with your use of our services.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount of fees paid by you to DMCA Masters in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DMCA Masters and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your violation of these Terms; your misrepresentation of copyright ownership; any false or fraudulent takedown notice filed using information you provided; or your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Either party may terminate the service engagement by providing written notice to the other party. Upon termination, we will cease all enforcement activities on your behalf, except for takedown notices already submitted and pending action.

We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate your access to our services if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or provided false copyright ownership claims.

Sections relating to limitation of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive the termination of these Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties.

If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in the United States, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
